If you are trt I wouldn't stop I don't see how it would effect recovery in a negative way you might end up feeling like crap due to low t and then that shoulder hurting on top of it

I would get your bloods checked ? It's a little late now though. Depending on how your blood count is ?? I would stick to the trt at a low dose. You can crash really quick when your test levels are already low. What's you weekly dose ??

I agree, surgery or no surgery if your on trt which is replacement therapy why would you stop? Unless you just mean your on a trt dose and cruising, but if you have low test then the whole point of trt is to give your body what your not naturally making. So unless your planning on running a pct while you recover from surgery, I would def stay on. All depends on what your trying to do. On the flip side if your just cruising and not on actual trt, and depending on the surgery if its major like a shoulder etc... and you will be out of the gym for an extended period, it would make sense to stay on your trt dose until you start to heal up then maybe come off and get homeostesis in check before you can rehab and get back in the gym prior to your next aas run. Alot of factors involved to accurately answer that brother, give us as much as you can to better assist.

If you look at a clock I have torn off all the cartilage between 6 and 11. It has caused some kind of liqu to leak in my shoulder which has turned into a cyst. They are going to anch my cartilage back to my shoulder and drain the cyst. The Dr said I'm looking at 4 months recovery

depending on what your 200mg does for your levels, you could probably drop the dose abit, maybe 125 or 150 a week.

Stay on TRT. As APL stated, Trt is for general health, not muscle building.

Is your TRT self prescribed or from a doc? If it's dr. prescribed you may want to ask the doc if you have concerns about TRT and surgery. If it's self prescribed listen to the boys above and stay on.

I was thinking it might be too much with one arm. I could get my wife to do it

yeah, have the wife do it if it's too difficult with one arm. You could also have the DR. office do it if need be...or another buddy of yours. better than coming off. But it's up to you. I would try the other methods before coming off IMHO.
TRT is for LIFE regardless of situation unless natural disaster or something else preventing you from your medicine.
</p><p>Why would you lower the dose? His TRT dose is whats required to maintain normal test levels. Lowering the dose will cause OP's test to be lowered. Recovering from surgery and low t symptoms...no thank you.</p><p>I don't understand how lowering TRT dose will benefit. Can you please explain?</p><p>Kielbasa_Posse said:
</p><p>200mg a week is not a low dose. 200mg a week is one of the highest that I've encounter (based on reading forums and my TRT doc). Most average between 100-180mg a week.</p><p>200mg is 40% away from a decent blast (500mg).</p><p>Kielbasa_Posse said:

Unfortunately I had to stop trt for now. My surgery cost me $916. PT is $90 a week. 2 bottles of pain pills plus 1 bottle of pills for vomiting $50. With me not getting a normal check I cant afford the trt shots. I'm off work for 4 months

a PCT? Man damn that sucks, I would borrow some money or something to get 4 bottles of cyp or enanthate. Your gonna not be able to lift or do much which will depress you, taking pain pills which is a roller coaster, then your hormones are gonna plummet...its gonna be a bumpy ride. You can overcome it!!!! But I would still try not to stop trt at all costs personally bro.

and MG is cheaper than a doctor to prescribe 200mg cyp. It cost me 100$ visit and 70$ for the vial from the pharmacy ...
Mg source : sus 500mg 80$. Test e 45$ and there so much stronger and better than a pharmacy brand but u do have the ease of boing what's there for a pharmacy but you take the chance daily ....
